Shen Bingyan understood what Old Master Shen was thinking.

The genetic virus has always been a thorn in the old man's side, but finding Grandpa Qi's daughter seems a long way off, so Grandpa doesn't want to give up.

Moreover, Su Jian had no ill intentions at the moment; he only wanted to learn about Shen Bingyan's movements by tracking her and then find an opportunity to curry favor. Since she was threatening his granddaughter and there was a pill in front of him, he was already prepared to do so.

Old Master Shen turned a blind eye to it.

This incident shows that although her grandfather rejected the previous marriage proposal on her behalf, he still supported her in his heart.

the next day.

That was the day Shen Bingyan went to Lucheng.

The bodyguard was driving Shen Bingyan to the airport when, halfway there, his expression suddenly changed, and he glared fiercely at the car following them through the rearview mirror.

"Why is it still haunting us?"

The bodyguards had already sent men to shake off the people following them, but unexpectedly another car came up.

Just as the bodyguard was trying to shake off the car that was following them, the person following them drove up and drove alongside them. The driver's side window opened automatically, revealing Su Jian's face.

He turned his head slightly and called out through the car window, "Bingyan, what a coincidence! We're so destined to meet on the road."

"Where are you going today? I'll go with you, okay?"

"I promise you, I will never bother you. If you say east, I will go east; if you say west, I will go west. If all else fails, you can treat me like I'm invisible."

"I just want to watch you from afar, is that alright?"

Shen Bingyan closed her eyes. Su Jian was like a leech; as long as she wasn't on her way to the company or the Shen family home, Su Jian would inevitably come and bump into her.

Su Jian must have realized today that she wasn't taking the route to the company, so he personally drove over to catch up with her.

If it were anyone else, Shen Bingyan would have really taken action.

But Su Jian is a member of the Qi family, so she can't make a move!

If he were to make a move against Su Jian, his adopted daughter would definitely investigate. She had been living in Lucheng all these years, and once she investigated thoroughly, Zhou Yi's identity would be impossible to hide!

"Turn around and head back to the company!"

Shen Bingyan coldly gave the order.

With Su Jian, that stalker, around, we probably won't be able to get to Luzhou City today.

She hadn't met Zhou Yi yet, and she didn't know what Zhou Yi thought of her. She didn't want to bring the conflict to Lucheng.

We absolutely cannot let Su Jian know about Zhou Yi's existence!

otherwise--

Given Su Jian's control, even if Su Jian didn't know Zhou Yi's background, he would still treat him as a rival in love and would definitely do something that would hurt both himself and his enemy to get rid of Zhou Yi.

Seeing the car in front of him turn around, Su Jian angrily smashed the window: "Damn it! Am I really that unacceptable to you? If it weren't for the fact that you're a young lady from the Shen family..."

As soon as he got home, Su Jian was filled with resentment.

The adopted daughter was doing hand care on the sofa when she looked up and saw Su Jian with a sullen face, looking like he hadn't gotten a good look from Shen Bingyan. Her goodwill towards Shen Bingyan dropped even further.

The adopted daughter patted the sofa, gesturing for her son to sit down.

Then he patiently said to Su Jian, "What's wrong? Didn't you manage to make an appointment with Miss Shen again? Son, don't worry. It's normal for the future heir of the Shen family to be a little arrogant."

"It's alright, we need to be patient. A good hunter must have a calm and unhurried mind."

"Only in this way can we accurately catch our prey."

Su Jian leaned back on the sofa, his earlier sullen expression gone. He took a deep breath and said confidently to his adopted daughter, "Mom, I know, I'm just not convinced."

“When I was pursuing girls abroad, a meal, a bag, or a set of skincare products were enough to win them over. If that didn’t work, I could spend tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars.”

"But she... humph, nothing can move her. But you're right, a lady of the prestigious Shen family is not like those other cheap women."

"The colder she is, the less likely I am to let go!"

"I refuse to believe that I, Su Jian, as the eldest grandson of the Qi family, will not be able to have her in this lifetime!"

Although Su Jian was not Old Master Qi's biological grandson, Old Master Qi had no descendants, so he spoiled his adopted grandson very much, and Su Jian got whatever he wanted from a young age.

After being rejected by Shen Bingyan multiple times, he felt somewhat annoyed, but more than that, he felt excited and had a strong desire to conquer.

A life that's too smooth sailing is actually quite boring; an occasional life with twists and turns is very appealing to him.

Su Jian didn't want to continue on this topic, so he changed the subject, saying, "Mom, what exactly is Uncle Yu busy with? He hasn't come back for so long."

After Su Jian finished speaking,

Then he saw his mother's face darken instantly. He didn't know what she was thinking, but she snorted coldly, "The older he gets, the less useful he becomes. He can't even handle such a small matter."

"Son, why do you keep talking about your Uncle Yu?"

"Do you really like him that much? Is Uncle Yu more important than me? You brat, I'm your mother, why are you always thinking about an outsider?"

This was the second time Su Jian had brought up Yu Anping in front of her!

The adopted daughter didn't like hearing her son mention that name.

Every time her son brings up Yu Anping, her adopted daughter worries that Su Jian and Yu Anping have too good a relationship, and is even more worried that Yu Anping will tell Su Jian the truth in private.

The son belongs to her alone, and she will never let Yu Anping take him away from her!

"Mom, what are you thinking about!"

Su Jian quickly made his stance clear, saying sweetly, "You're my mom, how could Uncle Yu possibly compare to you? No matter what, you'll always be my first choice!"

"I care about Uncle Yu because he is, after all, Grandpa's confidant and holds a high position in the family. I still need to maintain a good relationship with him."

The adopted daughter paused for a moment, then didn't press the matter further. Instead, she said vaguely, "You don't need to bother trying to build a good relationship with him. Whatever you need, he will help you unconditionally."

Before Su Jian could ask any more questions, the adopted daughter stood up from the sofa.

"Something came up at the company, so I'll be back very late."

"Spend more time with Grandpa while I'm not around."

"It's useless to get along with other people. The most important thing is to make Grandpa happy. Only when he's happy can you get everything you want!"

As Su Jian watched his mother's departing figure, for a moment he felt that something he had said was amiss, but he quickly dismissed that thought.

Mom is right.

It's no use trying to build good relationships with anyone.

Instead of wasting energy, you should try to please the old man.

After all, the real young lady is dead. Now, the old man has no descendants. Who else can he entrust this huge fortune to besides himself?

As Su Jian thought about it, his lips curled slightly, and ambition and desire surged in his eyes.
